| Summary: | Throughout the history of Islamic Civilisation, many Muslim intellectuals have been a prey of
the doctrines and principles propagated by the followers of different mystical orders in
general, and the BektÉshÊ Order in particular. The BektÉshÊ Order, which can be categorised
as a mystical order deviating from the core of Islamic teachings, has through its decrees and
teachings affected the harts of many lay Muslims as well as intellectuals. This order has
created many obstacles and problems for those who were eager to understand the real
meaning of the Islamic teachings as conveyed by the Holy Qur’Én and the Sunnah of Prophet
MuÍammad (p.b.u.h.). Many Muslim intellectuals have attempted to bring this order back to
the core of Islamic teachings, but have failed as this order has been very active and
developing very fast since many of its followers were involved in the politics of the Ottoman
state. This article attempts to examine the emergence, growth as well as the most important
teachings of this Order. |
